The Career Beginnings Mission

To increase the likelihood of low-income and other disadvantaged students to remain in school, graduate from high school and either participate in post-secondary education or obtain employment with a career focus.

What Does Career Beginnings Do?

Career Beginnings brings together key agencies, high schools, businesses, non-profit agencies and local colleges in working partnerships, which provide career and college preparation, summer work/studyexperience, school-year work experience, special academic tutoring, counseling and supportive services, and the individual guidance of adult mentors from the business and professional communities.

Career Beginnings engages the entire community in a group effort that helps students overcome their educational and social deficiencies through interactions with the college environment and the professional world.
